A highly-placed source revealed to Entertainment Weekly that a Han Solo origin story and a bounty hunter-themed movie are being developed by Disney, but cautioned that it is still very early in the planning stages.

The Han Solo origin film would be set before A New Hope and would show how he became a galactic smuggler.

Harrison Ford could potentially appear to set up a flashback of Han Solo's background, but a younger actor would play the character throughout most of the film.

The Boba Fett adventure would see him attempting to collect a bounty while outsmarting other galactic travellers. This film would apparently slot in somewhere between A New Hope and Return of the Jedi.

Both of these movies could potentially feature appearances by Darth Vader and Jabba the Hutt, who was presented as one of Han Solo's greatest enemies in the original trilogy.
